Came to me at the fence line,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
long faced, panting from the sprint⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
across the paddock. Dust still hung⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
from back legs kicking, pushed⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
forward with snort, with warm⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
breath, the space between us⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
closed.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here a wild thing contained,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
at full gallop he runs out of room⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
after eleven seconds,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
somewhere inside he remembers⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
what it was to run. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know you, though you have forgotten,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
for I am you, out of room⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
after eleven seconds, after⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
your legs just start remembering⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
the wildness caged.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My hand on the side of your face,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
not a jitter or jolt⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
when you felt it come to rest.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Kick out and send dust into the air,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
sprint until you’re half a second beyond⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
running out of room.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
